ton on any point connected with the
mines, their actual or prospective out
put, and cost of operating. In fact,
far from being denied, his frequent
weekly or even daily applications to
Messrs. Mackay or Fair or their doz
ems of mine or mill superintendent,
experts, bankers or accountants, were
generally welcomed, the gentlemen
referred to only urging the reporter
to "Tell the truth, sir. We are al
ways willing, and even anxious, that
the public should know the exact con
dition of affairs When it is stated
that any one of those artic'es-which
were generally telegraphed verbatim
to the hundreds of newspapers of the
Associated Press might have affected
the selling price of those shares to
the extent of millions of dollars, 1t
will be seen that the interests to be
affected were much vastcr than they
have been here, yet the parties
controlling those interests never ques-
toned the right or the intentions of
the newspaper reporter whose special
business it was to keep the public in
formed Of every important move in
the mines.
We have gone into this subject at
some length on this occasion, firstly,
because Mr.. Lang (who is a gentle
man Of acknowledged reputation,
ability and standing in mining and
business circles) and who came here
to visit and benefit us without even
the remotest idea of securing any
personal advantage by the trip, is
entitled to this explanation; and, sec
ondly, because our brethren of the
press and the public at large may
like Mr.. Lang, have supposed that
these statistics "might be collected
with ease" and blamed the TINES
for neg Letting this important part OF
its duty as a newspaper We have
no feeling in the matter, either
against the ore producers or the ore
buyers, beyond one of regret that
they should thus blindly stand in their
own light by refusing to supply the
very information which is best calcu-
lated to induce the investment Of
capital and thus conduce to the in
crease Of their most profitable bust
ness.

THE RAILROAD MEETING TO BF
HELD.

The people of HALEY seem to be
taking hold of the railroad question in
rood earnest. Messrs. Friedman,
Bews, Johnson, Hodgman, Plughof,
Riley, Burkett, Watt, White, Rupert,
Warren, Price, Bruner, Condron,
Kingsbury, Coffin, krieg, Sullivan,
Black, Roberts-in fact, all who have
had anything worth mentioning to
say on the subject-highly approve
Of the idea Of calling a meeting in
the room Of the Second District Court,
in this city next Monday evening, at
$50 o'clock, to discuss the subject,
and take what steps may seem fit
and proper, in the premises.
DR.. Leonard also writes that he
will be up Monday, and remain over,
to assist in the discussion.
If some one who is acquainted
would only take the trouble to ask
them, by telephone, even, several
business and mining men would
doubtless come from Ketchum or
Bellevue, to give countenance and
encouragement to the movement by
their presence at the meeting.
The Importance of the subject to be
discussed is patent to every one; it is
therefore unnecessary for the TINES
to dilate on the matter to any length,
further than to urge all who can to
attend and bring their neighbors
along.

WHY RELIABLE STATISTICS ARE
NOT PUBLISHED.

Herbert Lang, the analytical chem
ist and metallurgist who recently
visited Wood River, writes from Port
lanl, Oregon, December LIST, to the
editor Of the TIMES:
am utterly unable to procure RE
LIABLE statistics of Wood Rivers ore
product for 1886 and 1887. ! should
have imagined that such statistics,
from the ease with which they might
he collected, would have been pub
lished. Have you them, and, il so,
will you send me copy? | shall be
very much obliged.
No. We could not get reliable
statistics of Wood Rivers ore yield,
though we spent years in vain efforts
to obtain them. Most Of the ore is
purchased at McCornick's bank here,
is sampled in Bellevue or HALEY, and
smelted at the ketchum works. The
places to 90 to for information were
evidently the samplers, the bank, and
the works-or either Of them. We
frs: applied at the samplinS works,
and managed to get one or two month
ly reports; but at the next application
the Superintendent respectfully but
firmly declined to supply any infor
nation. The bank was next tried,
and few daily reports of ore. pur,
chases obtained and published. But
presently one mines name (the Min
ME Moore or Queen of the !Ii,ls-wc
forget which, was omitted, and that
particular mine was thereafter repre-
sented in the reports by the initials
&. b. and @, or others equally mis-
leading. \ week OF so later, even
these imperfect reports were refused
An application was made at 'ha smelt-
ing works. Surely" we thought,
"they keep complete returns, easily
got at, and will not deny the repre-
sentative newspaper the desired in
formation" But we only had our
"trouble for our pains" The man

TiMFs substantial evidence of their
good will, i'll the way of heavy orders

the ore-producors. The owners Of the

States and Europe, the condition in

The bond requires him to keep only
two men at work, but he had hardly

force to eight. He also built "A board

THE FARMERS PICNIC.
Our Friends From the Country Hold q
Jollification and Hear Good Speeches.

Our Friends From the Country Hold q
JolIificatiDm and Hear Good Speeches.
Last Saturday was a gala day for our
good friends from the country. They came
for miles around to enjoy feast, both cor
poreal and intellectual. In the morning a
large audience had gathered and listened to
an address by Col. l.. L. Polk that was
strong, pointed and sensible. Following
him came Dr. D. Reid Parker from Trinity
College, farmer and fruit raiser of wide
experience. He spoke of the duties of the
farmers, their methods and on farming in
general.
Next came dinner, and such dinner it
was! The temporary tables fairly ached, if
tables ever ache, under their burden of good
things-good things brought from the cup
boards of good housewives all over the
neighboring counties. The spring chicken,
now developed into a summer pullet, added
its savory self to the abundance of big fat
biscuit, juicy ham and red, luscious water
melons. 1t was feast to make ones mouth
water. Slowly and contentedly our friends
slowed it away, and after chatting awhile,
talking of the crops and swapping expert
ence, they listened to an address from Mr..
Edgar Lineback on "Red Clover" That
speech was sensible. He told how the Penn
sylvania farmers have reclaimed their old
lands by its use, compared North Carolina
with Pennsylvania and made strong, for
chile appeal to the farmers to plant Clover
-"Red Clover and great deal of it." He
was thoroughly in earnest, is an energetic
speaker and his words told.
Pat Winston was therein fact the occa-
sion wouldn't have been complete without
him, but the rain came soon and put an end
to our hopes of hearing him.
Through the rain and mud the farmers
went home, some of them wet on the out
side but entirely dry on the inside, and all
seemed TO enjoy the occasion.
We were struck by the good show of fine
horses and buggies. A down-easter standing
near remarked "In our section its a nigh
ty rare thing that young fellow can afford
a nice buggy and horse to take out his girl,
while here 1 see them on every side"
There's something significant in that-it
shows that the farmers in this section are
progressive and well TODD. We are glad of
it and we see in their present strong organi-
cation an augury of still more prosperity.
All over Forsyth and its neighboring
counties these clubs are welding the farmers
together into a strong, mutually helping and
protective bands. Why shouldn't they or
ganize Why shouldn't they meet together
and discuss their business and fix upon def
mite lines of action? We are glad to see
them doing it, nearly every occupation has
its strong organization. The printers un-
ions, the cigar-makers unions, and unions of
all kinds for the advancements of their call
ings are all over our land and this move on
the part of the farmers is late coming but
has come to stay and to do great good.
Long life to the Farmers Club and may
the shadows of its worthy members never
grow less.
